Bolden will likely play against Ohio State, while Marve and Henry are penciled in as the second- and third-string QBs behind starter Caleb TerBush.

ALL OR NOTHING: Meyer was asked on the Big Ten teleconference what he could do this week to help WR Devin Smith. He caught two TD passes in the win at Indiana, but he also dropped two wide-open balls that could easily have gone the distance.

"We do a lot of things with the receivers and he's a perfect example," Meyer said. "We do non-stop collision drills during practice, so like today, for example, we'll make sure that he's getting hit after every throw."

Meyer is convinced Smith, perhaps the Buckeyes' best big-play receiver with six touchdowns on only 21 catches, can cut back on the drops.

"I have enough confidence in him he's going to get better," Meyer said. "It's either feast or famine, it's either a touchdown or nothing. We just need to have more consistency."
